I’m facing the fight against cancer!

There is perhaps nothing scarier than hearing those three words from your doctor , "you have Cancer". It is life changing in many ways and touches everyone you love, but treatment is behind me and I am travelling down the road to survivor status. Now it is time to give back to those that supported me in my journey , providing hope to those that have heard those words , while supporting the efforts of so many people so that those words are never heard again. 

 Nova Scotia has the highest cancer rates in all of Canada. 1 in 3 patients will not survive. 

On Saturday, September 28, 2024, I’m riding alongside a community with one common goal: transforming local cancer care at the QEII Health Sciences Centre.  

Faster diagnosis saves lives, which is why BMO Ride for Cancer is on a mission to bring rapid cancer detection and monitoring to patients who have already undergone treatment. With a simple blood test that can happen anywhere in the province, QEII experts will use this revolutionary technology to uncover whether patients are cancer-free after surgery and the earliest signs if their cancer has returned.

This technology will be a game-changer. 

By supporting my ride today, you are joining a community dedicated to moving the needle in cancer care for Nova Scotians. Your support will pave the way for a future of hope for all of us.
